applied and got interviewed at two SBs.

SB under health:

first and only interview was 1 week after.
then clearance, referee checks, etc., and got the offer 2.5 weeks after.
rejected as base pay was a 15% decrease and overall annual only 4% increase.

SB under CI:
referral. think it was about 3 weeks after that i got the first interview.
second interview was 1.5 weeks after.
got verbal offer 2 days after interview but pending approval and referee checks etc.
they say can match my base pay now so quite good with the extra bonuses. but first SB (above) also initially said they could match my base pay then end up lowball. so idk

Congrats to you!! Referrals do play a large part in speeding up the interviews and approval processes

congrats! glad things are working out for you and you are receiving the offers pretty soon after the interviews. If you could share - how many months of bonuses were the 2 SBs offering?

so if it's yet to be conferred the degree, will they adjust your pay increment to reflect the higher qualification by the time the lateral transfer is done?

I am the OP. no, the HR could not confirm.
anw, the hiring managers retracted the offer. i was going to accept it alr, but the HR said that since the hiring managers thought i was unhappy about it, they didnt want me to be unhappy when i joined the team.
i guess they made the decision for me even before i had to.

lidat zam brake u-turn pre-emptively?
like not done with empathy / professionalism by the hiring side TBH

to me, there's nth wrong if potential employee negotiate for better terms with the company during interview

if it's within the bandwidth/threshold, should talk things out
unless applicant asking for the moon/impossible then makes more sense to u-turn the offer

Anyone recently got hired, was told 3-4 week now 4 week plus already still no results,
